NEB #	Component Name	Component #	Stored at (°C)	Amount	Concentration
P8112S     -20       TEV Protease P8112SVIAL -20 1 x 0.1 ml 10,000 units/ml   TEV Protease Reaction Buffer B8035SVIAL -20 1 x 1 ml 10 X

Features

• Removal of affinity purification tags such as maltose-binding protein (MBP) or poly-histidine from fusion proteins
• Engineered to improve thermal stability and decrease autolysis
• High substrate specificity with no non-specific proteolysis 

1. The TEV Protease recognition sequence with the highest catalytic efficiency is ENLYFQ ▼S; however, the amino acid in the P1’ position (S in the recognition sequence) can also be G, A, M, C, or H (1).
2. If the fusion protein sample contains > 2 M urea, > 0.5 M Guanidine hydrochloride, > 50 mM imidazole, pH values below 6 or above 9, or cysteine protease inhibitors then it will be necessary to dialyze the fusion protein before TEV Protease cleavage.
3. TEV protease can be used at high concentrations without the occurrence of non-specific proteolysis.
4. Reactions may be scaled-up linearly to accommodate larger reaction volumes.
